Thank You for the help.
We have found a "working" system for now. One of the problems was, that only one of the nozzles and one of the thermistors work.
With another version of repetier host we are almost done.
But we haven't found solution for now for the axis.
When I give home (X0,Y0,Z0), it goes it Xmax, Ymax, Z0. I have tried to change the settings in the printer, but when I try to print something, the problem is here.
Can You give me some advice in that direction? If in the slicer is any option to change the coordinate system?
Thank You
Best regards

"One of the problems was, that only one of the nozzles and one of the thermistors work."
This is normal, cause M201 only has one nozzle and one thermistor.
And you can change the motor direciton as the link shows:

I don't think that is the decision.
I mean there is the problem, where is the 0 point.
Are You sure, that we have problem with the direction of the rotation of the motors?
We are with different mainboard. How can I open the firmware, if it is nessesary?

Sorry my bad! I forgot your is M201. When homing, all the axis are towards to the endstops, you can check it.
If one of your axis is not correct, in LCD go to control->printer settings-> X/Y/Z motor dir , choose true or false then you can change the direction, but remember to control->store memory to save the changes.

Thank You. The printer works fine allready.

In my opinion it will be better the alumunium plate on the bed to be minimum 7mm. Mine is without parallety.

Hi and merry x-mast.
I wonder what is last version of M201 firmware. I have on what got in last saturday. Firmware version is 1.0.0.
Problem is that after installation I don´t able to finnish any printing. Printer crash and jamming before print get ready. Sometimes it´s jamming laptop where have Repetear-Host. Usually printing least about 25-35 min. Nothing isn´t move anywhere before reset. Total reset.
I know this is new consept and it take awile to have working firmware. So far what I been seen and printing whit this M201 printer it is top.
I only like to be sure have latest version of firmware.
